The global pea protein market is expected to reach USD 313.5 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing consumption of gluten-free products for treatment of celiac disease is expected to boost the pea proteins demand during the forecast period.

Rising concerns over non-celiac gluten sensitivity is expected to result in rising consumption of gluten-free foods and is hence anticipated to positively impact the industry growth.

Pea protein is one of the highly preferred non-dairy substitutes, as it is characterized by good amino acid profile and is easily digestible. These attributes make the product favorable for use in various food & beverage products such as protein fortified health drinks and sports nutritional foods.
